RSNA: EMC heads to the cloud

EMC (Booth 5824) is sharing its technology platforms that accelerate EHR adoption, manage risk and compliance and provide a vendor neutral archive at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, Nov. 28 to Dec. 3.

EMC’s Document Imaging for Medical Records Solution transforms patient medical records from paper to indexed electronic data records and delivers them into the health information management (HIM) or EHR system, according to the Hopkinton, Mass.-based company. The Virtual Patient Information Repository Solution expands on document imaging of paper-based medical records to capture unstructured patient data including paper, medical email, faxes, videos and audio.

The RSA Secure Web Access for Patient and Provider Portals Solution creates a centralized security service with the ability to enroll new users, authenticate with the level of security, authorize access and create a centrally managed audit log.

Finally, Atmos Vendor Neutral Archive Solution uses DICOM federation and allows for universal viewing through the EHR.

Around the web

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care. 

Richard Heller III, MD, RSNA board member and senior VP of policy at Radiology Partners, offers an overview of policies in Congress that are directly impacting imaging.
 

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
